Darlene De Beaulieu Poet Imagism

The Shadow On the Wall

Two hats hanging on the banister
Stacked on  top of each other  
When the sun shines the shadow
Appears on the beige wall 
The sun  shows a shape
A face on the wall 

Appears wearing a hat
A face on the wall
The eye m nose, and mouth
He is staring at me
The face is sideways

It is why one eye down
Part of his lip and hat 
His shadow is sideways
That is how he appears
Every sunny day
